two interesting facts

In my line of work I often read boring newspaper articles which illuminate random interesting facts which sometimes, albeit rarely, surprise me. Today I was lucky enough to have two which I thought I would generously share on here rather than disrupt my fellow co-workers.

1. Japan has 6,852 islands. I knew there were islands but that is A LOT.

2. Last year 209 foreign objects were left inside patients after operations in Britain, with 82 patients being operated on the wrong body part. Again, a surprisingly large amount in my opinion.

Hmmmm.
